Good as far as it goes. But the USA is full of roads that the local county can barely afford to plow, much less maintain. Japan built lots of bridges to nowhere trying to keep the money-machine going. A bridge is only valuable if the use-value exceeds the creation-cost. And those opportunities are more scarce now after a century of building.
Agree - classic economics says a value creating infrastructure investments are always a good investment. In the US we've probably been to conservative on those investments given the "fiscal hawks". One large infrastructure spend that would great jobs, innovation and improvements in health would be for a large scale push into the hydrogen economy. That would be a huge game changer for this country and the future planet.
